If I use fresh yams, do I have to boil it first before baking it?Does anyone have a great yam recipe for Thanksgiving?
candied yams
2 pounds garnet yams or sweet potatoes
3 (2-inch) strips orange zest, white, spongy pith removed
2 cinnamon sticks, broken in half
1/2 cup freshly squeezed orange juice
1/3 cup pure maple syrup
2 tablespoons pure olive oil, light sesame oil, or unsalted butter
1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
2 teaspoons peeled and finely chopped ginger root
1/2 teaspoon coarse sea salt
Preheat the oven to 375掳F.
Peel and halve the yams crosswise. Cut each half lengthwise into 4 wedges.
Place the yams in a baking dish that will hold them in a snug single layer.
Tuck the orange zest and cinnamon sticks among the yams.
In a bowl, whisk together the orange juice, maple syrup, oil, lemon juice, ginger, and salt. (Note: if you're using butter, omit it in this step, but dot the assembled casserole with small pieces of it before it goes into the oven.) Pour the mixture over the yams.
Bake for 1 1/4 hours, basting every 15 minutes, until the yams are tender and glazed and the pan juices are syrupy.
Remove the orange zest and cinnamon sticks before serving

One of my favorite sites to get recipes is the Food Network. You can find variations of almost every traditional recipe, and they are all tested in the Food Network kitchen, so you know it's not some random recipe someone hasn't tried.
Just go to the ir site, and search for the recipes you are looking for.
This is a different menu I've seen for some black folks but go to www.allrecipes.com. You can buy the cranberry sauce, rolls, corn on the cob, salads, pies, ice cream and drinks all from the store. Also your collard greens could be bought in a can from Glory foods. He will never know that they were out of a can. Good luck on your first Thanksgiving feast at your house. Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours.
I love www.recipezaar.com.
They have the best search engine. You can search by the dish, the ingredient, and a million other ways. I love the site because you can actually narrow down your search by crossing ingredients you don't have off the list. You can read the reviews that other users have posted and that helps, too. I would definitely start there.
Can I come over?!! Maybe some jalapeno cornbread, rice and gravy? I think you got all you need and gave me great suggestions for my dinner! Thanks! Happy Thanksgiving!
Ingredients
2 pounds russet potatoes (about 4 medium), peeled and cut into large chunks
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt, plus more as needed
4 cloves peeled garlic, smashed
1/4 cup unsalted butter
3/4 cup whole milk
Freshly ground black pepper
Directions
In a large saucepan, combine the potatoes, 2 teaspoons salt, garlic and enough cold water to cover. Bring to a boil over high heat. Lower the heat to maintain a simmer and cook until fork tender, about 15 to 20 minutes. Drain the potatoes and garlic leaving just enough water in the pan to cover the bottom.
Return the potatoes and garlic to the pan. Add the butter and mash until melted. In the microwave, heat the milk until just hot, but not boiling. Stir into the potatoes and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Serve immediately.

Does anyone have a good stuffing recipe for thanksgiving?
I am looking for a good stuffing recipe. I am going to stuff the bird, so a recipe for that. if anyone has one or knows of a good site (i feel like ive looked at them all) that would help. ThanksDoes anyone have a good stuffing recipe for thanksgiving?
If you want something a little different and absolutely extraordinary, this is the recipe for you. It includes instructions for in the bird and out of the bird (though you'll have extra that you'll want to bake separately if you stuff the bird).
new england sausage, apple and dried cranberry stuffing
Servings: 14 Servings (About 18 cups).
14 ounces white bread, cut into 3/4-inch cubes (about 12 cups)
1 pound sweet Italian sausages, casings removed
1/4 cup (1/2 stick) butter
6 cups sliced leeks (white and pale green parts only; about 3 large leeks)
1 pound tart green apples, peeled, cored, chopped
2 cups chopped celery with leaves
4 teaspoons poultry seasoning
1 cup dried cranberries (about 4 ounces)
4 teaspoons chopped fresh rosemary
2/3 cup chopped fresh parsley
3 eggs, beaten to blend
1 1/3 cups (about) canned low-salt chicken broth
Preparation
Preheat oven to 350掳F. Divide bread cubes between 2 large baking sheets. Bake until slightly dry, about 15 minutes. Cool completely.
Saut茅 sausages in heavy large skillet over medium-high heat until cooked through, crumbling coarsely with back of spoon, about 10 minutes. Using slotted spoon, transfer sausage to large bowl. Pour off any drippings from skillet. Melt butter in same skillet over medium-high heat. Add leeks, apples, celery and poultry seasoning to skillet; saut茅 until leeks soften, about 8 minutes. Mix in dried cranberries and rosemary. Add mixture to sausage, then mix in bread and parsley. Season stuffing to taste with salt and pepper. (Can be prepared 1 day ahead. Cover and refrigerate.) Mix eggs into stuffing.
To bake stuffing in turkey: Fill main turkey cavity with stuffing. Mix enough chicken broth into remaining stuffing to moisten (about 3/4 to 1 cup chicken broth, depending on amount of remaining stuffing). Spoon remaining stuffing into buttered baking dish. Cover with buttered aluminum foil. Bake stuffing in dish alongside turkey until heated through, about 45 minutes. Uncover stuffing and bake until top is golden brown, about 15 minutes.
To bake all stuffing in pan: Preheat oven to 350掳F. Butter 15x10x2-inch baking dish. Mix 1 1/3 cups broth into stuffing. Transfer to prepared dish. Cover with buttered foil and bake until heated through, about 45 minutes. Uncover and bake until top is golden brown, about 15 minutes.
Does anyone have a good stuffing recipe for thanksgiving?
This is my recipe for stuffing turkey/chicken. Nothing fancy, just the basics.
I start with an onion and a stalk of celery. Finely dice the onion and finely chop the celery.
In a bowl, add 1/2 cup hard margarine, the onion %26amp; celery. Cover with plastic wrap. Microwave for 4-5 mins on power 8 until it's tender.
I either hand cut, or use a blender to make about 6-8 cups of bread curmbs. I use all the ends of my bread (leftover rolls, crusts that nobody wants, whatever you have. I store them all in the freezer until I'm ready. You can use store bought crumbs.) Season the bread with pepper and a little savory (1/2 - 1 tsp)
Add the melted butter mixture to the bread and combine well.
Don't overstuff your bird. It should be firm, but not hard packed.
Also, I like to put a piece of tinfoil or parchment to line the bottom of the bird. Makes the stuffing easier to remove, and you don't get any of that brown **** that hangs around down there in the bones.

I think you should pay a quick visit to the sources below.

The best turkey i have ever made...... use a oven cooking bag.. easy clean up and no basting and mess....
Rinse and dry the turkey.. loosen the skin from the breast ... mix a stick of softened butter and some chopped fresh sage a littel salt and pepper.. take this mixture and put it under the skin rubbing it in to cover as much as you can... take any left and rub all over the outside of the turkey... place in the bag.. and cook according to the bag directions.
this turkey came out so tender and moist... i'll never cook it any other way
****I like this better than regular Pumpkin Pie and it freezes beautifully, so if you want to make it ahead of time to see if you like it. Then freeze it and serve cut in squares on Thanksgiving.
Pumpkin pie cake
1 can pumpkin (29 oz)
4 eggs
1 can evaporated milk (12 oz)
1 1/2 cup sugar
2 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 tsp. ginger
1/2 tsp. nutmeg
1 package yellow cake mix
1 c. melted margarine
1 c. chopped nuts
Direction
beat all ingredients except cake mix, margarine and nuts.
Pour in a 9 x 13 pan sprinkle dry cake mix over pumpkin mixture. Pour melted margarine over cake mix and sprinkle with chopped nuts
Bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour no longer. Top with whipped cream if desired.
I cook my turkey in a large turkey sized turkey bag. It has never been dry. I cook my giblets with onion, celery and carrots in water for several hours and use the liquor from that for my gravy with the juices from the pan and if needed chicken broth. I also use the giblets in my gravy. Some people don't like that. I also look up a really good sweet potato soufle recipe each year, that seems to be a favorite alone with a nice jello recipe of some kind. I hit the internet and have fun finding some nice recipes. Whatever sounds yummy. Have fun! I love Thanksgiving dinner!
I love cooking Thanksgiving and Christmas Dinner. However, I try to make it as simple as possible so I'm not on my feet all day and can enjoy my company. Here are a few hints:
Prepare as much as you can the day/night before.
I fix broccoli and rice casserole, my dressing and sweet potatoes the day before. That way they can ';set'; and let the flavors go through them. I bake them on Thanksgiving day. I also make my pies the day before, if possible. The only thing I have to make is my homemade rolls on Thanksgiving day. My husband is in charge of the turkey --- down south, we fry it!

What is your favorite vegetarian recipe for Thanksgiving?
It's more of a menu than recipe but I got carried away...
If your not vegan try the Quorn roast with root veggies (parsnips, carrots, potatoes, etc) and rosemary. You can always do Tofurky (if you're vegan) but I don't like the brand as much.
-You've got to have a little cranberry sauce, even the stuff in a can is veg.
-Mashed potatoes w/ Bisto gravy (I get mine from World Market, it's vegan! You can order it online).
-Wilted spinach with caramelized onions
-steamed green beans
-acorn squash (or yams) with butter and brown sugar
-a raw veggie tray with you're favorite dipWhat is your favorite vegetarian recipe for Thanksgiving?

I plan to do some of the Thanksgiving cooking at my house this year.. normally we go somewhere else and my mom has gout and is lactose intolerant, so she isn't allowed any meat or dairy and is often left without many options of good things to eat for Thanksgiving.
hi,
i hope ye are well,
i think you could try, some recipe with soya products they are healthy and delicious = P
Kindest regards

I confess that I am Australian and don't really have thanksgiving, but I could make some suggestions -
We often have barbeques or buffet style gatherings with lots of salad type dishes, a rice salad(brown rice, pine nuts, raisins, grated carrot), bean salad, vege salad.
We also have falafels (chick pea patties) to serve with the salads, as well as hummus.
If you have things like cranberry sauce and apple sauce at thanksgiving, these could also go with the falafels and salad.
Gluten free people can have brown rice, others might like to have tabouli with bourghoul, parsley %26amp; tomato
You can also use nuts to add to things or make a separate vege patty with veges and nuts.
Also, you could try a veggie platter with hummus, I have a hummus recipe at:
http://www.vegecentral.com
(just click on the chick peas button)
That site also has suggestions under the raw foods button
I hope this helps.
vegi fish vegi chicken and vegi chips
If your not vegan try the Quorn roast with root veggies (parsnips, carrots, potatoes, etc) and rosemary. You can always do Tofurky (if you're vegan) but I don't like the brand as much.
-You've got to have a little cranberry sauce, even the stuff in a can is veg.
-Mashed potatoes w/ Bisto gravy (I get mine from World Market, it's vegan! You can order it online).
-Wilted spinach with caramelized onions
-steamed green beans
-acorn squash (or yams) with butter and brown sugar
-a raw veggie tray with you're favorite dipWhat is your favorite vegetarian recipe for Thanksgiving?

preheat the oven to 350 degrees
8 apples
2陆 tablespoons of sugar
2陆 tablespoons of flour
1 tablespoon of cinnamon
1 tablespoon of nutmeg
take a 9x13 inch glass pan, peel and slice the apples scattering in the bottom of the greased pan. sprinkle the above ingredients into the sliced apples and mix.
now get a large mixing bowl and mix together:
1 cup of flour
1 cup brown sugar
1 cup of Quaker Oats
1陆 tablespoons of cinnamon
once you have those all mixed, get a cup of cold butter, slice it into the dry mixture, and use a fork to cut it in. by keeping the butter cold, it will clump up making your topping for your apples.
once your topping is made spread out over your apples and place into the oven for about 45 minutes, or until browning starts.
you can bring a bucket of french vanilla ice cream to serve with it as well!! what are you guys cooking for thanksgiving? any recipes?

Butternut Squash Risotto
14 1/2 ounces reduced sodium chicken broth defatted
4 cups water
1 teaspoon salt
2 slices bacon diced
1 onion chopped
1 cup arborio rice
1 small butternut squash peeled and diced --3 cups
1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
In a medium saucepan, bring chicken broth, water and salt to a simmer. Reduce heat and keep at a bare simmer. Meanwhile, in a Dutch oven or large deep saute pan, cook bacon over low heat until crisp. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside on a paper towel. Discard rendered fat. Return pan to heat, add onion and cook, stirring, until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in rice and squash; cook for 1 minute more.
Ladle 1 cup simmering broth into rice mixture and cook, stirring, until most of the liquid has been absorbed, about 1 minute. Continue stirring and adding broth as it is absorbed, 1/2 cup at a time, until squash is tender and mixture is creamy. (Adjust heat as necessary to prevent scorching yet maintain a lively simmer.) Total cooking time will be 20 to 25 minutes. Remove from heat. Stir in 1/4 cup Parmesan, reserved bacon and pepper. Serve hot, passing remaining 1/4 cup Parmesan separately

How about desert? you can make a pumpkin pie real easy and it doesn't cost much. If you buy Libby's pumpkin in a can, there's an excellent recipe on the back of the can for it...or ask your cousin what she would like for you to bring. She might have everything covered or really need for you to bring something specific.
Libby's pumpkin pie:
1 (9 inch) unbaked deep dish pie crust
3/4 cup white sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
2 eggs
1 (15 ounce) can LIBBY'S庐 100% Pure Pumpkin
1 (12 fluid ounce) can NESTLE庐 CARNATION庐 Evaporated Milk
DIRECTIONS
Preheat oven to 425 F.
Combine sugar, salt, cinnamon, ginger and cloves in small bowl. Beat eggs lightly in large bowl. Stir in pumpkin and sugar-spice mixture. Gradually stir in evaporated milk. Pour into pie shell.
Bake for 15 minutes. Reduce temperature to 350 F.; bake for 40 to 50 minutes or until knife inserted near center comes out clean. Cool on wire rack for 2 hours. Serve immediately or refrigerate. (Do not freeze as this will cause the crust to separate from the filling.)
I've been helping my friend put her Thanksgiving menu together for the past week. Here are all the recipes that I gathered for her. Maybe something here will work for you.
